View Full Version : Where do you watch?
Haydon 27-06-2006, 11:12 AM Just wondered where everyone watches the football.
Except for the last game, I've been going down to my local football club. They have a bar and a huge screen. Great fun... especially when my little sister works behind the bar! :w00t:
Looking forward to Saturday. :good:
Patsy 27-06-2006, 11:16 AM So far, all at home. At least you can see the TV and hear the commentary and don't miss anything by going to the bar.
Seabreeze 27-06-2006, 11:44 AM Always watch it at home. No queue for the bar and no mad rush for the toilet at half time. Food is pretty good as well
Bonsai 27-06-2006, 12:47 PM Ive been going to the officers club which is right next door to my house. They have a massive plasma screen, and not many people go so you can easily see and hear whats happening.
Also - the beer is cheap :blush:
I haven't watched much - but the matches I've watched I've watched at home.
I did watch the Mexico - Argentina game - brilliant!!
Aondeag 28-06-2006, 10:00 AM I've been lucky as the only bits of the world cup I have seen have been at home...on the sports section of the news bulletins.Yay..I really thought I would have to keep out of the pub until after 9th of July...but a lot of places are not really showing them.I threw my eye at the screen for some of a Poland match, and for bits n' bobs of an Italy match...but that's it.
Woodstock 28-06-2006, 03:15 PM So far, all at home. At least you can see the TV and hear the commentary and don't miss anything by going to the bar.
...two-shay! :tv_happy: <--- i'm laughing at England here...(you can't do that in the pub...:nono: )
Woodstock 28-06-2006, 03:19 PM I did watch the Mexico - Argentina game - brilliant!!
yeah, that was a belter! :sick: <--- the poor Mexicans looked a bit like this though after the game...tcha tcha...you had to feel for them.
:confused: <--- but they did themselves really proud, as they had the Argies looking something a bit similar to this throughout the entire 90.
:surrender: <--- and i just hope England aren't doing this against the Portugese this Sat'dy...
Since Italia 90 I have watched Euro and World Cup games in the pub, Im not in a position to go to the pub and watch this time as I think I would be a health and safety hazzard in the dodgy boozers I frequent :glare:
I am now going to admit to all that I havent watched a single England game yet - I missed the 1st 2 games cos of commitments, and have now decided they will do better if I DONT watch as I must be the jix :laugh: and because I am a superstitious old witch, I am saving myself for the final!!!!
So I sit in the garden and Mum keeps me informed of what is happening:huh:

Wanna bet !!!
My dozy husband has done a really silly thing. He has planned a family BBQ for THIS SATURDAY starting at midday. We are going to miss the footy :cry:
We will record it, but we will know what happens by the cheers that are bound to go up from the club next door :glare:

Patsy 01-07-2006, 05:44 PM Gutted, but not surprised. A hard-fought second-half. Just gutted to go out that dirty bunch of Pork & Cheese.
Woodstock 01-07-2006, 05:47 PM :sad: ...i think i'll just remain here...in Morecambe...with my head in the sand...:bag:
...for a while at least...:sad:
Woodstock 01-07-2006, 05:48 PM ...WHY CARRAGHER??...WHY???...:ranting:
...WHY???
Patsy 01-07-2006, 05:50 PM Morecambe! :shocking: You're at the seaside and you're watching a poncy game of football!
Woodstock 01-07-2006, 05:55 PM Morecambe! :shocking: You're at the seaside and you're watching a poncy game of football!
I'm 'at the seaside' in the most spiritual sense of the phrase...and as for the football...that's it!...the World Cup is over now isn't it?? (...what time's the France-Brazil match on??)
...oh i nearly forgot...there's still your fantasy football team to cheer on! :yahoo:
Woodstock 01-07-2006, 05:59 PM ...the one positive thing to come from this is...
....................:unsure:.................
...no more Sven?
(...and why do the BBC have to play the fifth most-saddest song ever produced, just before they end transmission??)
Patsy 01-07-2006, 06:06 PM Why did the BBC have to play any song sung by Neil Tennent?
I guess the match is on at 8.00pm. My FFT wants Brazil, my heart wants France. Oh yes.
Woodstock 01-07-2006, 06:11 PM Why did the BBC have to play any song sung by Neil Tennent?
I guess the match is on at 8.00pm. My FFT wants Brazil, my heart wants France. Oh yes.
Oh, is that who it was...it sounded very Pet Shop Boysish...
My FFT wants a rematch (...2010 Patsy??) and my heart wants to have been born in Brazil...
...it keeps telling me so.
Andrea 01-07-2006, 09:17 PM I missed the 1st 2 games cos of commitments, and have now decided they will do better if I DONT watch as I must be the jix :laugh:
Come on now Isis, own up, you watched today's match didn't you!:w00t:
